Install

Install the BuildCharts CLI and verify that your environment is ready.

Prerequisites

• Docker with buildx
• .NET 10 SDK (only if you install BuildCharts as a .NET tool)

Install as a global tool

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-buildcharts

This makes the buildcharts command available in your shell.

Install in a local tool manifest

Use this when you want the repository to pin the CLI version:

dotnet new tool-manifest
dotnet tool install dotnet-buildcharts

Then restore the tool inside the repo with:

dotnet tool restore

For build-time dependencies and offline-friendly setups, see Considerations.

Verify the installation
